CONFUSED OVER SOME POINTS
Bapposed to Deduct rer Cmt from
All Coupon, Except Municipal, !
When rreaented for Collection.
" Omaha banker are waiting for om
tullng on a provinlon of the Income tax
law which they say Is contusing. The
law goes Into effect November 1. Banli
ra ear they are expected to deduct 1
percent for Income tax from atl coupons
on all obnds except municipal when audi
coupon! are presented to them for col
lcctl6n. This would mean that anyone
presenting, say, a $500 coupon on an east
ern bond due any clay after November 1.
nd desiring to cash It at a local banlt.
would receive but 4, while the bank
here must hold the other 5 to be ttirp1
in aa Income tax, or be responsible for" It.
Eastern banks are notifying their cor
respondents and customers to this effect.
The National City bank of Chicago hns
ent the following to Its correspondents
and customers throughout the country
Including the banks In Omaha:
Accepted for Coltectton.
Please bo advised that all eoupos ma
turing on and after November 1, 1M3.
and until further notice, will be aceceptcd
by this bank only' for collection.
Under the provision of the federal Irt
opme tax law, which Is fefecttve an of
November 1. WIS, We do not care to un
dertake giving credit for coupons until
tnelr final payment at iieh nlnr. flour.
'nated for presentation.
The law relerred to provides that de- !
nuctlon of the normal tax Is to be with- .
held at tho placo of the payment of auv I
ui uy coupon, or -at tne ao'urce." and
pending such payment we cannot def-
lnltelr credit mirh tirftr--.
NATIONAL BANK OK CHICAOO. I
Local bankers ay this would mean that
the widow or orphan who might be hold
lng a small bond would be compelled to
ray an Income tax on cashing a 300
coupon, although the law specifically Bay
that Incomes under J3.O0O are to be ex
empt. Hero Is the seeming contradiction.
As the bankers here construe the law,
the person might be-able to--secure 'the
refund of this money on properly filing
an, affadavlt that he or hes has art In
come of les than 3.0p0. hut they hold that
this would mean an endless pile of affi
davits. A meeting of Investment bankers from
many of the larger cities of tho country
is In session at Chicago taking up this
problem In an effort to get some ruling
on tho matter from headquarters at
Washington.

pealed to the district court. The note
